Notes:
-
The Standard edition includes 30 inspections per month, and the Professional edition includes 120 inspections per month.
-
Inspection quotas included with each edition are granted per calendar month. Unused inspections do not roll over to the next month.
-
If no Computing Power Package is purchased, no new inspections can be started after the edition's included inspection quota is exhausted. If a Computing Power Package is purchased, the system consumes the edition's included inspection quota first; after the quota is exhausted, subsequent inspections automatically deduct Credits from the Computing Power Package without manual switching.
-
Computing Power Packages are measured in Credits, which are not equivalent to raw tokens of large language models.

-
Select the inspection items you need. Select all is supported.
-
Select the time range for the inspection.
-
Click Start Inspection and wait for the inspection report to be generated.
-
Review the inspection results and apply the recommended optimizations.
Professional edition capabilities
Scheduled inspection
The Professional edition supports creating scheduled inspection tasks. You can configure the target instances, inspection items, schedule, and notification method. The system automatically runs inspections on the configured schedule and generates reports.
Batch instance inspection
The Professional edition supports selecting multiple instances in a single inspection task, which is suitable for periodic health checks and risk governance across multiple instances. Batch inspection throughput depends on the task concurrency, remaining inspection quota, and available Computing Power Package Credits.
API access
The Professional edition supports invoking Tair AI Assistant capabilities via APIs, enabling integration with enterprise O&M platforms, automated pipelines, or other business systems. For details about API endpoints, authentication, and throttling rules, see the related API documentation.
A ctivation and upgrade
-
Log on to the Tair console.
-
Go to the Tair AI Assistant page.
-
Select the Professional edition.
-
Confirm the edition, region, subscription duration, and fee, and then complete the payment.
-
After activation, you can use the capabilities of your edition from the Tair AI Assistant panel.
If you have already activated the Standard edition, you can upgrade to the Professional edition on the Tair AI Assistant management page. The features and monthly inspection quota after the upgrade are subject to what is displayed in the console.
Entry points
Log on to the Tair console. You can access Tair AI Assistant from the following entry points:
-
The Tair AI Assistant icon on the right sidebar of the console.
-
The AI Instance Inspection entry at the top of an instance details page, which lets you initiate an intelligent inspection directly against the current instance.
A RAM user must have the corresponding Tair instance access permissions. Tair AI Assistant automatically inherits the user's RAM permissions and can access only the authorized instances.
Computing Power Packages and Credits quota
The default inspection entitlements of the Standard and Professional editions are measured in inspection count: the Standard edition includes 30 inspections per month, and the Professional edition includes 120. The Standard edition provides 1 base task concurrency, and the Professional edition provides 5. You can activate multiple Standard editions, each bound to one instance. The Standard edition does not support stacking Computing Power Packages. The Professional edition has no instance binding limit and supports inspections and diagnostics across multiple instances. The Professional edition can stack Computing Power Packages to increase Credits quota.
Computing Power Packages are measured in Credits. Credits are the unified consumption unit of Tair AI Assistant Computing Power Packages and are used to offset the consumption of AI tasks such as intelligent Q&A, diagnostics, and inspections. Credits are not equivalent to raw tokens of large language models.

Usage rules
-
The Credits quota provided by a Computing Power Package takes effect per calendar month.
-
When both an edition and a Computing Power Package are active, the system consumes the edition's included inspection quota first. After the quota is exhausted, subsequent inspections automatically deduct Credits from the Computing Power Package.
-
The Professional edition supports stacking multiple Computing Power Packages. Their Credits quotas add up. The Standard edition does not support stacking Computing Power Packages.
-
Computing Power Packages provide additional task concurrency. After stacking multiple Computing Power Packages, the maximum total available task concurrency, including the edition base concurrency, is 20.
-
Actual Credits consumption is calculated based on the task type, data volume processed, and analysis complexity.
-
Daily Credits consumption limit = Total purchased Computing Power Package Credits ÷ Number of calendar days in the current month.
-
After the daily Credits limit is reached, related AI tasks are restricted and are automatically resumed the next day.
-
Unused Credits for the day do not roll over to subsequent days.
-
The exact specifications, prices, Credits quotas, and usage rules are subject to what is displayed on the purchase page.
Billing
Tair AI Assistant Standard and Professional editions are billed on a subscription (annual/monthly) basis. The edition fee activates the corresponding product capabilities. The Standard edition includes 30 inspections per month, and the Professional edition includes 120 inspections per month. After the edition's included inspection quota is exhausted, purchase a Tair AI Assistant Computing Power Package to continue using the service.
The actual transaction prices, promotions, Computing Power Package specifications, and available regions are subject to what is displayed on the Tair console purchase page.
